His discussion of the ‘social contract’, by which we all (mostly) get along and – for example – the lights work when we switch them on, should be required reading for anyone interested in political discussions today. I present an account for Engineers. Also, the Leviathan discusses more than just politics, and I’ll talk about some highlights such as Hobbes theory of memory and imagination.
